Professor Lindsay advised that this presentation was one
of the three overview papers that had been scheduled for consideration
by Academic Board and Council for 2001. The main purpose of these papers
was to provide an assessment of the vitality of the academic enterprise
along key dimensions.
Professor Lindsay indicated that three key elements
emerged from the paper before Council:
-
the need to strengthen qualitative
feedback from students to complement survey feedback;
-
the need to focus employer inputs; and
-
the need to strengthen coordination
through specialist appointments or by closer cooperation among Deans,
Associate Deans and other parties involved in curriculum development.
Members raised a number of issues including:
-
provision of adequate research time for
academic staff, requiring an appropriate balance between research and
teaching responsibilities;
-
student representation on deliberative
bodies affecting curriculum and student involvement with curriculum
development generally;
-
absence of engagement with specific
stakeholders in particular faculties; and
-
practical problems encountered in
students contributing to curriculum development.

Council received and noted the report Future
Directions Report: Development of the curriculum: engagement with
